27 ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION ? homo one line V. W. Eligibility to membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars is a priceless privilege. This distinction must be earned by overseas military service. It can never be purchased with gold or favors. To the eligible veteran, the Veterans of Foreign Wars offers an opportunity for patriotic service to com munity, state and nation plus the chance to help pro tect the benefits to which he is entitled under the law. The membership dues to the average Post of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars seldom exceed the nominal sum of 4.00 per year. This is an insignificant investment for the eligible veteran who appreciates the opportun ity to help preserve and protect certain government benefits to which he, or his loved ones, may be present ly entitled and other benefits for which he, or his dependents, may be qualified under future emergencies.
